  11. So, the question of whether and/or how a Former Chief Executive might serve a sentence is making the rounds.

    Apparently there's some concern about mixing with the General Population of incarcerated. (We can't have them being corrupted and/or subject to Cruel and Unusual Punishment, of course.)

    If only there were, say, for the sake of argument, an isolated, off-shore, extrajudicial, high-security, long-term facility. Perhaps as an exclave of a nearby but not-entirely-friendly-terms island country. If you git mo' of what I'm sayin', here.

    Or perhaps the UK could let out Saint Helena for the purpose.

    Or he could be put up in one of his own hotels. Staff quarters.

  16. @emmalovelace That’s if you could find one, left over. A big if. 😂

  17. I've had an idea I cant kick, but I know I may never follow up on, so I'll just leave it here in case I come back to it.

    Federated C2 - The use of federated and public ActivityPub instances to form the backbone of a decentralized and resiliant command/control protocol.

    Use bot accounts on public instances across the graph to publish commands with generated tags into the federated feed. Bots then query any connected instance for these tags to retrieve latest commands.

    This being said, I've yet to have an original idea, so I'd want to go hunting first to see how other people are doing it.

  20. If you suddenly developed superpowers, would you become a vigilante?
    Pros: law enforcement and the legal system are corrupt and ineffective
    Cons: no one person has the right to be judge, jury, and executioner

  25. Few things bug me more than rampant knee jerk #Luddism.

    Healthy #skepticism is one thing, but constantly spreading doom, gloom, hyperbole, and etcetera #FUD is another.

    What makes it worse is that the priests of the New Luddism are #philosophers peddling purely #speculative #hypotheticals as truth, who are masquerading as qualified technology #scientists when they're not.

    It's hard to see it little more than #fearmongering against #science. It's all very Things Man Was Not Meant To Make.

  27. If your favorite period of The Beatles is the very end (like mine is), you may like this hypothetical final Beatles album, Everest: formidablemag.com/beatles-ever

    Maddeningly, the authors point out that 18 tracks could have been included on the album, but only 14 appear for space constraints. They omit what the other four are! (I wrote them and will follow up in case they reveal them.)
